Dabrow, gooni, are you saying Hirale is not a warlord or you are simply opposed to others calling him a warlord?

Good progress! Somalis should be employed as long as that their involvement doesn't diminish the quality of the end product. There is a serious lack of capacity. Anyway, Gheelle.T, it is not just Bosaso Airport. It is Bosaso International Airport, garoon caalami ah, the best in East Africa :-) Get it right ninyahow :-)

Tallaabo. I have not condemned the deceased!! I assume you are Muslim? Islam is very clear when it comes LGTB issues. The views of "corrupted" extremists are not that from the mainstream Muslims. The story of Lot can only be interpreted one way. Of course, Muslim jurists differ on punishment. The point is your personal view (which you are entitled to) contradicts Islam. So, the question becomes, why would you deride those who chose to view transgenderism through Islamic lenses. After-all, they are following their religion! DocterK...I think your mistake is personalizing your comments. No one knows what the deceased did or didn't do unless you are witness to any act. What you can say for certain is what Islam says about transgenders or LGBT people in general.

Farah has haters, I wish him all the success. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/mar/23/mo-farahs-half-marathon-record-not-european-claims-former-athlete

Congrats to Farah!!

My family spent 6k to get back a house that has been in our family since early 60s. We have the original the house title and tax receipts. Others had to spent much more than that.

<cite> @Tallaabo said:</cite> Yes the currupted, manipulated, miss-quoted version of "religion" preached by unreliable characters and peddled by the narrow minded masses would side with him. Tallaabo, can you then present a verse, a hadith or decision by mainstream Muslim jurists that endorses transgenderism?

I am aware of the sex reassignment in Iran. Khomeini laid the ground work by granting Maryam Molkara's (early campaigner for transgenders in Iran) request for sex change. Other Muslim countries are also somewhat tolerant of transgenders, like Hijras in Pakistan. That said, I have not seen any ruling derived from the Quran or Hadiths that endorses transgenderism. The only mention are effeminate men who are to be left alone as long as they don't act on their sexual desire.

^Who are these scholars?

<cite> @Tallaabo said:</cite> Che isn't your cherished "wholesome, traditional lifestyle" what got Somalis deep into to the sh!t they are in? I think a bit of radical liberalism is what is probably needed to remedy our social illness. Sarcasm mate but on serious note, our empathy for the deceased is humanistic, an understandable tendency. But I think DK can make a good argument (that's he drops the rumor talk) from religious perspective. We might not like what he says but religion would side with him. As for the deceased, judgement day awaits 'her' and our day will indeed come as well.

DK....As a heterosexual, conservative Somali male, you need to understand SOL has a lot of LGBT supporters. You are a minority now and you are being targeted for your views and wholesome, traditional lifestyle. I commend you for standing your ground :-) Don't given in to these radical liberals and their gay agenda

This young woman can perhaps teach them a thing or two

What about cheap Somali laborers? Mase our poverty stricken people are too proud? Who paid the money, Somaliland Government?

Good development. Was there a competitive bidding? Chinese companies are better experienced and more efficient. They are building the airports in Djibouti and Bosaso, and not to mention many infrastructure projects in Ethiopia itself. Projects like this one might have enticed the Chinese to invest more in Somali lands.

He does look like his brother.

Somalee. What's real situation in Xamar? Our people tend to either exaggerate or diminish progress back home.

^Do you have spoil it?
